Founder of Proud Boys sues over being labeled hate group


Proud Boys members wearing their uniform - a black Fred Perry polo shirt with gold piping.


Wikipedia describes them as a far-right neo-fascist organization that promotes white nationalism, violence, and anti-Muslim themes. The Proud Boys regularly attend white supremacy and pro-Confederate rally's in the US and are affiliated with white supremacist Richard Spencer. The group attempted to re-brand itself after the deadly 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. McInnes and the Proud Boys organization have been banned by Facebook, Instagram, iTunes, and YouTube.

FBI: Hate crimes in U.S., CA surge in first year of Trump’s presidency

It rots from the head, a hateful president gives a green light to his hateful followers. Unless you don't believe our FBI...
 
They're delusional. They are a hate group.
 
They're not a hate group. They are proud American men -- and who said anything about being white??? Many of them are racially mixed, AS WE ALL ARE.

I think it's disgusting that a white man can't be proud that he's a white man anymore. DISGUSTING. This coming from a native american female. I've had it with this crap.
 
sorry, "proud boys." you're a hate group.

Pride has nothing to do with physical attributes you were born with. Pride has to do with accomplishments and perseverance.

You've had it, huh? LOL.

Who says a "white man" can't be "proud that he's white"? Please, give some examples....or spare us all the fake victimhood stuff.

What a stupid argument....even from a Native American female.
 

So glad to see a conservative finally understand the southern strategy. You don't have to say anything about "white men" in order to push for an ethno-state for men of less color than those people over there.
 

What are their opinions on Native Americans?
 

How are they a hate group?
 

It’s funny that the first part of this post is in disagreement with the second part of this post.

Hint: If your motto, as an organization is "anit-white guilt"....you're probably as hate group.

Hint: If your members are known to affiliate with other white nationalist and white supremacist groups....you're probabaly a hate group.

Hint: If your members worked directly with members from other white nationalist/supremacist groups to organize and promote the now-infamous "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville....you're probably a hate group.

The only thing more pathetic than the cowardice of these alt-right morons is their collective "white victimhood" agenda.

Maybe and maybe not.

Why is everyone but white men allowed and encouraged to unite and claim victimhood?
 
Bunch of wayward young men with very little to nothing in the way of personal accomplishments to be proud of. So instead they're trying to fill that gap with faux pride over something they have no control over.
 

They're a hate group to their core. They won't have to worry about being embarrassed during any discovery; this will likely be tossed out on its ass before that ever coup happen.

Why do you support white supremacists?
 
A bunch of racist incels. Yes, they are a hate group.

My nephew had to cover them for a documentary, they are a scary group.
 


Proud Boys group describes itself as a fraternal club of “Western chauvinists” who are “anti-racism,” while the law center describes the organization as misogynistic, anti-Muslim bigots.

They sound so nice.

Your claim of 'victimhood' is only the conservative term for the discrimination men and women of minority groups have faced by the hands of conservatives.

White males don't need much uniting as they're mostly a homogenous group who've historically been the ones making women and people of color, their victims...
 
****ing Nazis trying to claim it ain't about hate, lol.
 

I see, so white men are the victimizers simply due to the color of their skin, even though the vast majority have not victimized anyone.
 


Wow...."WIKI" says so, huh? :roll:
 
At least the original Nazis owned it, same with the KKK. These wussies won't even come out and say it because they know they'll get their asses kicked.

Don't put words in my mouth.

I don't think white men are victimizers due to the color of their skin, it probably has more to do with their feelings of superiority.

Just because a majority of whites are not victimizers, doesn't mean that the majority of victimizers aren't white...
